Critique?
Judge my writing; rhyme and metre;
Give me honest feedback.
Show me how to make it better;
I’m looking for a teacher.
Poets often can be thin-skinned;
We don’t take crit well.
Let me positively spin it:
We have a fragile shell.
I would rather be an artist
Who learns from others’ comments,
Who doesn’t feel that I’m a target
For all my work is flawless.
We put our heart in our poems, it's our baby. I love this poem.
ReplyDeleteI can handle criticism of my work, but not when poetry itself is attacked. Excellent poem!d
ReplyDeleteI love this - excellent perspective on what considerations we'd have to have for a poetry reality show. I've seen how devastated the designers are on Project Runway when their creations aren't received well. I'm sure we poets would react similarly. Still a fun idea!
